Gestation, temps and results.

IMO its not such a good thing to keep dropping the temp until the rays start showing signs of stress

why would you want a temp of 70 or below

its not right to do tests on live animals

do you also have dogs in your back yard smoking cigarettes and wearing lipstick

The biggest change that I have seen is the M/F ratio. And it is known that temp plays
a part in the M/F ratio in other species of fish. Why not rays. But I believe you would
need quite a few more litters to be able to legitimately verify that theory in rays.

Thanks for the info

I am staying the course for 60-120 more days. I will be expecting another litter within this timeframe and have additional results to report. -FM

nobody's keeping them below 70. Low 70s does seem reasonable though, we might just be overheating our tanks at 80+ which does them more bad than good.

this may be a dumb question, but what does "pothos" mean in reference to the houseplants you have in your sump?

I wish I was better at my plant ID. I read "Pothos" on a marker in a potted bunch that I got these from. I apologize, that is all I can offer. -FM

Pothos is the common name for the plant. They are a vine type of plant, usually grown in soil. You can get them to grow in water by cutting a vine off of the plant and placing part of it under water. Be sure to reomove any leaves from the submerged section of vine. Soon, roots will sprout from the vine.
